Ah, some context for this "Silent War" we've been hearing whispers of. I'm assuming the Bergen Conference ended TTL's equivalent of WW2? Nice read!

Well, it can’t be silent if you’re talking loudly about it!
The Bergen Conference is kind of like an ATL Potsdam Conference, in that it finalised the post-war plan for Europe and set out aims regarding the war in the Pacific, and also that the main powers started to really hate each other. But obviously there are different key players on both sides, and so the result turned out differently.

And you know how I said I'd do Russia?
Well...
I had a bit of spare time and instead of working on what I said I'd do or answering questions, I made a map of Antarctica ITTL.

Antarctica is divided into ten different polities, with nine nations claiming portions, plus a Union of Nations mandate around the South Pole, administered directly by the UoN, similarly to Jerusalem. However, 18 nations operate bases on the continent, usually within the zones of friendly nations. They are as follows (countries with actual territory in bold):

• Australasia
• Japan
• China
• India
• France
• Poland
• Norway
• Brazil
• Colombia
• Canada
• Britain
• South Africa
• Germany
• Patagonia
• Ireland
• Peru(-Bolivia)
• Chile
• America

Large stars show major Antarctic bases; many of these now have permanent populations. Smaller stars are other scientific bases, sometimes staffed for only part of the year, and only for scientific purposes. A major base is also situated at the South Pole.
